Duo to Drink.

CHICAGO, November 4.-Edgar A. Hall, a
brother of the second engineer of the Yer
non, said that it ought to have been we'll
known to the other officers of fhe line that
Captain Thorp was hard drinker and that
he often left port while drunk. -
Mrs. M. E. Vanamburgh arrived in Chi
cago on the Vernon September 8, accom-
panied by Miss Addie Mickey, of Waterloo,
n. Y. The steamer was three days longer
than usual in making the trip from Sheboy-
gan, and both the ladies said the captain
was drunk all the time. Is,
Axel Stone, the.onIy survivor of the dis
aster, when asked if he ever saw Captain
Thorp drunk, replied: ''The captain was
very drunk when we left She
boygan last week. While we were
coming through the straits the second mate
said to him, Sober up, you drunken beast,
and take care of this boat and the people,
The captain told him to go to h. Friday
night, which was the night the steamer was
lost, the captain was as drunk as l ever saw
him. l guess that is why the first mate
staid on deck all of the time. If the captain
had been sober he would have turned back
when he saw how badly she acted in a big
sea.
Captain Sullivan for many years COM
manded some of the finest sailing vessels on
the lakes. The last time the "VernOn" was
in Chicago, Captain Sullivan, speaking of
the seaworthiness of the steamer, remarked
that she was all right if properly loaded, but
added that she was being loaded deeper than
she ought to be.
